सीताप्रत्यय-प्रदानम्
Sita’s Recognition and Reassurance by the Envoy
रौद्रेण कच्चिदस्त्रेण ज्वलता निहतं रणे।द्रक्ष्याम्यल्पेन कालेन रावणं ससुहृज्जनम्।।।।
raudreṇa kaccid astreṇa jvalatā nihataṁ raṇe | drakṣyāmy alpena kālena rāvaṇaṁ sasuhṛjjanam ||
രൗദ്രമായി ജ്വലിക്കുന്ന അസ്ത്രങ്ങളാൽ യുദ്ധത്തിൽ നിഹതനായ, സുഹൃത്തുക്കളും സ്വജനങ്ങളും സഹിതം രാവണനെ ഞാൻ അല്പകാലത്തിനകം കാണുമോ?
"Hope, Rama's moon-like face without me with its golden complexion and lotus fragrance must not have been pale and withered with tears like the lotus in a pond scorched by the heat.
